Unexpected events are unfolding on Turkey's political stage — according to NTV, the mayors of three major cities in the country were arrested by police on July 5: Adana mayor Zeydan Karalar, Antalya mayor Muhittin Böcek, and Adiyaman head Abdurrahman Tutdere.
The source notes that these measures were taken as part of an investigation into fraud cases in administrations led by the Republican People's Party (CHP).
The Republican People's Party is known as the main opposition to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Following these arrests, party leader Özgür Özel called an emergency meeting of the executive committee, further increasing the country's political tension.
Recall that in the presidential elections held this March, Istanbul mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was considered Erdoğan's main rival, was also expected to run as the CHP candidate and was also arrested. These recent arrests indicate that a new problematic phase has begun in Turkey's political life.
Experts believe these arrests could have a significant impact on the activities of the opposition and the general political climate in the country. The public is following these developments with great interest and concern.
